SPECIFICATION forming part Of Letters Patent No. 743,205, dated November 3, 1903.

Application filed April 13, 1903. Serial No. 152,391- (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be itknown that we,FRANK B. TUPPERand GEORGE M. AUSTIN, citizens of the United States, and both residents of North Berwick, in the county of York and State of Maine, have invented a new and Improved Pan, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to a pan intended especially for baking purposes, said pan being formed of an integral sheet of metal,the

side and end walls being bent up and engaged- Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3 3 of Fig. 2.

Fig. 4 is a section on the line 4 4 of Fig. 2, and Fig. 5 is a section on the line 5 50f Fig. 2.

a indicates the rectangular bottom of the pan. The side walls are formed of upwardlybent sections 19, from the upper edges of which pass downwardly the outer sections b, and from the lower edges of said outer sections the inner reinforced sections 19 project upward, these parts I), b, and I) being stamped closely together to form a snug and strong connection and the part b being projected below the bottom a, so as to support said bottom out of contact with the surface on which the pan rests. As shown best in Figs. 1 and 2, the ends of the outer portions 1) of the side walls of the pan are formed with diagonal tabs 12 which are of essentially diagonal shape, the wide portions of said flaps being uppermost (see Fig. 2) and said tabs tapering downward until they run into the ends of the outer portions 1) of the side walls. The end walls of the pan are formed of upwardly-projecting inner portions 0 and flaps c, projected downward from the upper edges of the portions 0 and pressed tightly against said portions, as illustrated. The tabs b are bent transversely to the side walls and laid against the outer sides of the inner portions 0 of the end walls, and the flaps o are bent downward to cover the outer upper portions of the tabs 77 as shown in Figs. 2 and 5, and the whole of said parts being pressed tightly together. This enables the pan to be easily pressed up into finished form by the use of machine-tools, and when finished all of the parts are so securely engaged as to render the pan practically indestructible by ordinary usage.

Having thus described our invention, we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 7 l. 'A pan, comprising a bottom, side walls projecting upwardly therefrom and having tabs at their ends, said tabs being bent laterally inwardly, and end walls comprising an inner portion, and an outer downward flap projected downwardly from the upper edges of the inner portion and overlapping the upper portion of said tabs of the side walls, whereby to securely connect the side and end walls.

2. A pan, comprising a bottom, side walls projecting upwardly therefrom and having tabs at their ends, said tabs being bent laterally inwardly, and end walls comprising an inner portion, and an outer downward flap projecting downwardly from the upper edges of theinner portion and overlapping the upper portion of said tabs of the side walls, whereby to securely connect the side and end walls, all of said parts of the pan being formed from an integral section of sheet metal stamped up into the specified form.

3. A pan, comprising a bottom, side walls projecting upwardly therefrom and having tabs at their ends, said tabs being bent laterally inwardly, and end walls comprising an inner portion, and an outer downward flap projected downwardly from the upper edges of the inner portion and overlapping the upper portion of said tabs of the side walls, whereby to securely connect the side and end walls, the said tabs of the side walls being triangular in shape and gradually increasing in width as they extend upward, and the said flaps of the end walls being engaged with the widened upper portions of the tabs.

4. A pan, comprising a bottom, side walls KOO projecting upwardly therefrom and having l widened upper portions of the tabs, and all tabs at their ends, said tabs being bent laterally inwardly, and end walls comprising an inner portion, and an outer downward flap projected downwardly from the upper edges of theinnerportion and overlapping the upper portion of said tabs of the side walls, whereby to securely connect the side and end walls, the said tabs of the side walls being triangular in shape and gradually increasing in width as they extend upward, and the said flaps of the end walls being engaged with the of said parts of the pan being formed of an integral section of sheet metal stamped up 15 into the specified form.

In testimony whereof we have signed our names to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
